Can you recover directly to a RAID?

All NTFS and FAT jobs are recovered to PC3000 task files on a RAID volume, but HFS recoveries I prefer doing to destination drives and copying the data in the Mac environment otherwise you risk destroying stuff like Final Cup Pro and other finicky data if it's done outside of a Mac.

Yep, had that a few times.

Client claims that data is "missing".... but don't know what the data is that's "missing" or what it might be called or where it might be. They just claim that data is missing so won't pay and expect us to get our crystal ball out and find non-existent data.

Or claim the only "mission critical" is missing, and that's all they needed. Despite being asked on the booking form for any specifics and they've just put "all data" or "everything"... useful!!!

I do have to say though, that these clowns are a small minority and the vast majority of clients are reasonable and know what they want, and are understanding when "all data" is not possible due to media damage and are nearly always happy with what we get for them!
